Singer/songwriter/producer/musician Ivan Powell, Sr. passed away January 18th at the age of 50. Remembrances flooded social media as the news circulated this afternoon.
A chance meeting with John P. Kee at the Stellar Awards in the early 90s resulted in Powell accepting the position of music director with the New Life Community Choir a few years later. He is the featured singer with Kee on “Stand.” Powell is also noted for his work with Karen Clark Sheard, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Ron Winans, nephew Doobie Powell, and many more.
Our prayers of comfort are with the Powell family, friends, colleagues, and protégés.
